In all: a full mock of 110 in 2.5 hours, 6 area sets of 119 questions and the free sample of 3: 232 questions.
The official ranges are the number of questions per area that the 2017 blueprint publishes. The real exam has 110 questions, 100 scored and 10 unscored experimental questions that you cannot tell apart, so our full mock is 110 questions, all scored, with each area inside its published range. Each area set runs at the same pace as the mock.
Every law answer names its rule. Each explanation names the section of the Act, the code of ethics clause or the court decision it rests on, such as Ontario Regulation 941, Alberta's Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act, BC's Professional Governance Act or Ron Engineering on tendering, with a note where the provinces differ (PEO, APEGA, EGBC and Quebec's Civil Code).
How it is scored
- One mark per correct answer, no penalty for a wrong one, as on the NPPE.
- Your score in each blueprint area and your time per question.
- Rules to re-read: the Act, code clause or case behind every miss, with a link.
- The reason behind every answer, and your progress across retakes.
The NPPE pass mark is an equated (scaled) score of 65, which is not the same as 65% correct, and the official site says an equated NPPE score cannot be reverse-calculated from the percentage scores in a mastery report. Your percentage here is your score on our questions; it is not an NPPE score and does not predict one.

The NPPE, from the official sources
- A closed-book exam of 110 multiple-choice questions: 100 are scored and 10 are experimental questions that are not scored. Each question has four options and one correct answer; the time is 2.5 hours, and you can switch between English and French during the exam (Exam format).
- An equated score of 65 or more passes. Candidates who pass get no detailed score; those who fail get a mastery report by content area (Pass or fail, Results).
- The content follows the 2017 blueprint's six areas; the official site says a review of the blueprint is in process and estimated to launch in mid-2026 (Blueprint, PDF).
- The number of attempts allowed depends on your regulator (Regulator links).

Before you buy
Are these real NPPE questions?
No. Every question is our own, written from the 2017 blueprint, the provincial Acts, regulations and codes of ethics, other statutes and Supreme Court of Canada decisions. None comes from the NPPE or from its official practice tests, which use previously administered NPPE questions.
Is this made or recommended by Engineers Canada or my regulator?
No. It is independent practice by ProSyllabus. The official practice tests are sold through the NPPE site; this is a separate product.
Which province are the questions written for?
The NPPE is one exam used by fourteen regulators across Canada; Quebec's Ordre des ingénieurs runs its own professional exam instead. Where a rule differs between regulators, the question names the province or Act, and the explanation notes how PEO (Ontario), APEGA (Alberta) or EGBC (BC) handle it, and the Civil Code where Quebec law is the topic.
Will this make me pass?
We do not claim that it will. It gives you timed practice in the official format, your score by blueprint area on our questions and the rule behind every answer, so you can see where to study.
What do I get?
A full-length mock of 110 questions with a 2.5-hour clock and six timed area sets, 232 questions in all with the free sample, in the full test player. After each test: your score by area, the rules to re-read, your time per question and the explanation of every answer. Retake any test as often as you like.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card (or PayPal where offered), handled by our payment provider. In Canada the price is charged in Canadian dollars; in the United States, the United Kingdom and the euro area in your own currency; elsewhere in your own currency where we support it, otherwise in Indian rupees with the local figure shown as an estimate. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account. Purchase policy.
